    If you're asking about the physical printer, it usually depends on what's exposed by the printer driver. They all seem to have different property names.

    A printer object does have a SDDL to allow its use, but if the printer is on, say, a network then its security would depend on the printer firmware.

    You can start with this and see what you get. But you may have to deal with the manufacturers' software to get more.
